When using Doc with non-roman fonts, the postscript generated
looks horrible when displayed/printed with Ghostscript.
I am using the afm fonts so that Doc uses PS metrics.
Does anyone know why this is, or if there is a solution?

Also, it seems the LaTeX like output of Doc could be reasonably
be used as LaTeX with a few extra defined macros, etc.  Has
anyone ever tackled this?
